IMPORTANT SAFE INSTRUCTIONS
Before using our product, be sure to carefully read the manual and safe Instructions. Keep this document with the device all
time.
1 Read these instructions.
2 Keep these instructions.
3 Heed all warnings.
4 Follow all SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS as well
DANGER and OBLIGATION warnings.
5 Only use attachments / accessories
specified by the manufacturer.
6 SAFETY STATEMENT FOR RIGGING. This
Statement assumes that the owners and/or
users are familiar with the rigging techniques
and safety recommendations outlined in this
manual. Many issues of crucial concern,
such as the determination of
appropriateness and condition of venue
rigging points, cannot be addressed here.
Therefore, the user must assume all
responsibility for the appropriate use of
Rigging systems in any particular location or
circumstance.
7 PERSONNEL HEALTH AND SAFETY.
During installation and set-up personnel
should wear protective headgear and
footwear at all times. Under no
circumstances personnel should climb on
the loudspeaker assembly.
8 INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE. The
rigging systems are an assembly of
mechanical devices, and are therefore
subject to wear and tear over prolonged use,
as well as damage from corrosive agents,
extreme impact, or inappropriate use.
Because of the safety issues involved, all
system components must be inspected
before use in order to detect any possible
defects.
9 LOAD RATING AND SPECIFICATIONS.
Load capacity and setup safety limits when
flying or stacking a loudspeaker assembly
should be strictly followed according to the
instructions outlined in this manual.
10 LOCAL REGULATIONS. The suspension of
large, heavy objects in public places is
subject to numerous laws and regulations at
the national/federal, state/provincial, and
local levels. It is the user’s responsibility to
verify that any overhead suspension of
TECNARE systems has been made in
accordance with all applicable local
regulations in any particular circumstance or
venue conforms to all applicable laws and
regulations in force at the time.
11 FLYING A LOUDSPEAKER SYSTEM
Always verify that nobody is standing
underneath the loudspeaker assembly when
it is being raised. As the system is being
raised check each individual component to
make sure that it is securely fastened to the
component above. Never leave the system
unattended during the installation process.
As a general rule, EXEL ACOUSTICS
recommends the use of safety slings at all
times.
12 STACKING A LOUDSPEAKER SYSTEM.
Do not ground stack the system on unstable
ground or platform. If the system is ground
stacked on a structure, platform, or stage
always check that the latter can support the
total weight of the system. As a general rule,
EXEL ACOUSTICS recommends the use of
safety straps at all times
13 When a loudspeaker assembly is deployed
in an open air environment, wind effects
should be taken into account. Wind can
produce dynamic stress to the rigging
components and suspension points. If the
wind force exceeds 6 B (Beaufort scale) it is
highly recommended to lower down and/or
secure the loudspeaker assembly.
14 REPLACEMENT PARTS. Any component
found to be defective, or any safety-related
component you even suspect might be
defective, should be replaced with the
equivalent, approved part. Parts specific to a
rigging system should be ordered directly
from Exel Acoustics. No attempt should be
made to substitute what appears to be
equivalent or “mostly the same” generic
replacements. Therefore, EXEL
ACOUSTICS is not responsible for problems
caused by components that were not
supplied by EXEL ACOUSTICS.
